We have two days scheduled with our "home base" in La Spezia. We plan to devote one of the days to visiting Tellaro and Lerici. My question is about the best way to enjoy the other day. I want to spend at least a part of the day in Portovenere.

Which option would you recommend (or would you suggest something entirely different):

1. Visit Portovenere (a.m.) and La Spezia (p.m.) or vice-versa

2. Take boat or bus to Portovenere and spend the entire day there.

3. Take boat or bus to Portovenere and spend the morning, continue via boat to visit one or two towns in Cinque Terre.

You lucky people, staying in that hotel which looks great. The video brought back many memories and the pouring of wine in the sun with the sea in the background always looks good but on the second video - it looks fabulous! It was many years ago when we were there and I think it's time to go back.

I have read all the thread and have taken some good pointers from it. We will be arriving in La Spezia on Tues 13 Nov on a cruise ship from 07:00 to 20:00 - a nice long day. My question is about the weather - will the weather be too chilly, too windy, too rough for a lovely boat trip to see the Portovenere? Thanks
